Goodbye, YouTube apps on my iPhone and Android devices. The fine folks at YouTube have put together a nicely revamped mobile site at [m.youtube.com](http://m.youtube.com/ "undefined") that works with a fair amount of smartphones, leveraging HTML5 videos instead of Flash videos.

The new mobile site is currently accessible on iPhones and Android phones and, according to [a company blog post](http://youtube-global.blogspot.com/2010/07/youtube-mobile-gets-kick-start.html "undefined"), is “really fast” while adding “more touch-friendly elements,” playlist creation, and several other features that are present on the full YouTube site.

Here’s a video for your infotainment:
